A Declaration of War Regarded as Certain to Follow the : Severance of Re- lations. Washington, April 9.—Aus- tria-Hungary, under the pressure of Germany, has severed diplo- matic relations with-the United States. Baron Erich Zweidinek, charge d’affaires of the Austro- Hungarian embassy here, called at the State Department today and asked for passports for him- self and the embassy staff, Almost at the same time a dis- patch was received from Ameri- can Minister Stovall at Berne say- ing the dual monarchy had brok- en off diplomatic relations with the Unite dStates in Vienna yes- terday. It is presumed this was done by handing passports to American Charge Crew. can Ambassador Penfield; who had left Vienna Saturday, prob- ably did not know of the govern- ment’s action. The American am- hassador arrived today at Zurich. By prearrangement Spain will take over the diplomatic and con- sular interests of the United States in Austria-Hungary. All Austrian consular agents will de- part from the United States with the diplomatic mission, as was the case with Germany. Austria-Hungary -has asked Sweden to take over her interests in the United States. Up to the time Charge Zwiedin- ek asked for his passports no sim- ilar action had been taken by Bul- garia and Turkey, Germany’s ‘bther two allies, and their repre- sentatives here disclaimed having any knowledge of the intention of their governments. It is ex- pected here they_will follow by breaking diplomatic relations. Austria’s break with the United States undoubtedly is the prelude to a declaration of a state of war. Sixty-two days elapsed between the break in relations between the United States and Germany and the formal declaration of a state of war. How many days will elapse before Germany’s chief ally enters a state of war with Germany’s newest enemy will be decided entirely by cir- cumstances, The diplomatic_his- tory of civilization and the pre- cedents of centuries show a state of war invariably follows a break in diplomatic relations between first class powers. The United States by the break in relations is released of the care of probably 2 million war prison- ers, In Russia alone it is estimat-| ed that 1 1-4 million Austrian Ameri-|- (CLOTHES ‘DOCTORS 1 cl and dees came at . p> ea but.a - wally, con- prisoners were under rflerican protection with a considerable number in France also. In Aus- tfia, the United States had cared for all the Italian and Rumanian prisoners. Other small groups are thought to bring the total well up to 2 million. Officials here deeply regretting the necessity which has driven Austria to the step she has taken, are nevertheless gratified at the way it has come about and that the United States was not respon- sible for it. As with the, Tecogni- tion of a state of war with Ger- many officials point out that the situation was provoked by the other side and not by the United States.

The most essential thing.to be accomplished now, it is'‘agreed, is to prepare the Allies’ loan: in order that they may obtain much needed food and munitions,’ |: Every effort to rush the bond measure throtigh the House will be considered by t ways and means committee Wednesday. ‘ The question of the by jure of the bonds has not been definitely decided. Some members ofthe committee prefer 50-year™ bonds, but think it would be best to pay them off at different times,, The question of raising money by taxation still is being consid- ered and it is generally agreed |- that excess profits, incomes’ and certain luxuries will be heavily taxed. Opposition to increasing the inheritance tax because of in- terference with state inheritance tax laws has appeared, but-it>is believed will not prove strong enough to prevent raising the government inheritance tax.
